Battered by wind

Stupidly windy, I went out last night and it wasn't worth it. At least the beefy generator worked beautifully (Although less could be said about the suitcase generator).

At home, just 4 moths to the trap...ghastly.

It was saved by a year first Pebble Prominent, and also during the day a moth flew into the living room, and luckily landed on the inside of the french doors. It was duly potted up for identification.

It was to be an Agonopterix purpurea, the smallest of the genus and another year tick, so very welcome.
